Pansy Necklace
18K Gold-plated brass
Matte Antique Finish

1 1/4 inch Pansy
While its name may be derived from the French word for "thought" (“pensée”), it is the heart, not the head, from which the beautiful Pansy earns its primary association. The small pansy necklace is perfect for layering as a center piece. It was the Pansy which Shakespeare chose in "A Midsummer Night's Dream" as the flower whose nectar was a potent love potion that would, "make a man or woman madly dote upon the next live creature that it sees."
